buttons disappear from toolbar

[Adrian]

Hi,

I make a custom toolbar. I add buttons linked to macros that I have made.
Everything works fine. Some time later, I open Word and see my custom
toolbar but it is empty -- no buttons. I have to add the macros to the
template again.
Any ideas what's happening?

Thanks,

Adrian

I meant to say "I have to add the macros to the TOOLBAR again".

Is Adobe Acrobat 7.0 installed on the computer? If so, the
Acrobat 7.0 Create Adobe PDF toolbar add-in for Word prevents
Word from automatically saving changes to the normal.dot template
(which is where toolbar customizations are stored). Customize
the Word toolbar button again, and click "Shift+File | Save All"
to force Word to save the normal.dot template. Alternatively,
you can prevent the Adobe add-in from loading by editing the
Windows registry key
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\PDFMaker.OfficeAddin"
and changing the "LoadBehavior" subkey value from 3 to 0, but
you'll lose the PDF toolbar if you do this.

Yes it is!

I'll try that.

Thanks a lot Garfield/Odie...may you get all the milk/bones you ask for.
